Pricing · one-time, not subscription
Three ways to use roono. Open the app and write. When the editor earns a place in your day, pay once and we are done talking about money.
roono Draft and Cloud are live on writer.roono.app. Cloud is a one-time purchase on the writer app. Desktop is not shipping yet. New here? See roono in detail before you choose a tier.

Because subscriptions are loud and writers are quiet. We would rather earn a single decision from you than invoice you twelve times a year. This holds at least until our first hundred paying users tell us different.
roono Cloud is $10 one-time for initial adopters. When we launch a subscription service, early adopters keep lifetime access at the $10 price. You will not be moved to a subscription. Your price is locked.
roono Desktop is $30 for one year of updates. After one year, you can upgrade the license to continue receiving new versions. If you choose not to upgrade, your last version keeps working forever on your machine. You own the binary. No phone-home. No expiration.
Writing never stops. Only AI surfaces go quiet for a beat, then return. We will tell you plainly what is slowing down and why.
Because Desktop lives on your machine. We do not want a phone-home billing line between you and your work. Open providers like Groq, Cerebras, and NVIDIA NIM offer generous developer tiers. You point roono at one of them and the AI panel turns on.
Yes, once they ship. Owning both will unlock cloud sync from your desktop app, so the same draft is open everywhere you sit down.
Cloud: 14 days, full refund, no questions. Desktop: 30 days, full refund, no questions.
On Cloud: in our database, encrypted in transit, exportable to plain markdown at any time. On Desktop: inside the app on your disk, nowhere else, unless you turn cloud sync on.
